Filmed across Ireland & the UK, USA, and Europe, these series highlight some truly innovative Irish solutions to a number of the global problems facing mankind. As we progress into the 21st Century it has been internationally recognised that Ireland’s investigative researchers are punching well above their weight on the world stage. New Decade has full access to these researchers and to the people whose lives they hope will be dramatically changed for the better as a result of this work. Each programme features some of the frontline work being undertaken by these researchers.

Series I looked at developments in the fight against Cancer, Malaria and Septic shock, disorders like ADHD and Rheumatoid Arthritis and the significant work being carried out in the field of Genetics in Ireland. It also focused on key issues affecting the planet as a whole such as Climate Change and the search for viable Renewable Energies.

Series II tackles possible cures for age related illnesses such as Osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's disease, and looks at advances in technology which are helping crop growers revolutionise agriculture and improve human health. We also follow Irish scientists fulfilling key roles in the field of Space exploration and understanding, and those at the forefront of the Sensor and Nanotechnology revolution.
